April 29, 1970: Jerry West forces overtime in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, knocking down a 60-footer that ties the game for the Lakers in Los Angeles at 102. Dave DeBusschere was under the basket as the ball through the hoop, a shot that taken after the creation of the 3-point line would have won the game for the Lakers. Instead, the Knicks won 111-108 in overtime to take a 2-1 lead.
